Since the Web site and forum have been updated, I cannot get it to work with Tapatalk.  It was working fine before the update.

All I get is the forum sections, but no messages/threads in the sections.

Anyone else having issues?

I've just set up my server but I'm not happy with the write speeds.
When I send a 2GB file from my computer to the NAS I'm only getting around 50mb/s write speeds.
I know the board is capable of a much better performance than this - probably double.
That said, I'm wondering if anyone uses any specific speed tweaks with their build?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi, i want to build a nas with OMV, my idea is to run a docker image of plex or emby. 
Does the board support any kind of transcoding? I just want to use it on a Chromecast, 1 user only.

If this board is is not suitable, does any SBC capable of transcoding?

Thanks

I'm about to start a hobby project that involves writing a custom user space NVMe driver, and it _seems_ like the ROCKPRO64 with the optional PCIe to m.2 interface card and a suitable m.2 NVMe SSD would be a great experimentation platform. BUT, I was wondering if there are any traps I should be aware of that would make we want to consider a different device? (I presume the Pine64 adapter card is more likely to work well than a third party adapter card?) 

To be extra clear: it's suitability for experimentation that concerns me most: a computer that I can mess up to an arbitrary degree while my main Linux box remains stable to use for other things ;-). I may eventually play with kernel mode drivers too -- be afraid; be *very* afraid!

Any thoughts about suitability? (Thanks in advance!)

Hi all,

As many of you probably saw by now, we've got a new website. One of the reasons for the change of the website is to provide exposure to ongoing PINE64-related projects (be it partner-projects or one-off personal projects utilizing PINE64 gear) and have the page be something more than a store-front.

To this end I'd like to encourage anyone who wants to write something - or to change anything on the website for the matter - to get involved. You can write a post about your project, showcase what you're building or write your experience with whatever PINE64 hardware you're using - anything goes.

If you're interested, let me know on here or find me online in one of the chats.

I etrched (EMMC) OS onto EMMC using Pine64 EMMC/USB adapter.

power light and ethernet light came on only.  Waited 10 minutes..nothing else.

I etched microsdxc system booted lights on both ends lit up appropriately..

I re-imaged EMMC, removed SD attached EMMC and same as 1sst time. No boot. only lights were at power and ethernet (no lights on other end even, again) no boot after long wait.

I am DISABLED. I ordered the entire 4GBPro and all components available in August.  I received ln "LATER SHIPMENT". 

I HAD MEDICAL ISSUES DUE TO DISABILITY AND ""ONLY"" now was I aable to  unpackage and start to get the RockPro64 up and going. 

By the above issues to me atleast it sounds as if the  EMMC is potentially a bad one if BOARD runs off SD.

Outside of 30 days / but due to medical delay, can I get permission to return/swap out EMMC?

Most Humble appreciation for your time and consdieration.

i am dedicated to your RockPro64 product.  Once I get this one up and running as super efficient desk unit for me,  I have other real projects requireing 10-12 more Units with all components being used as many different key projects.  I want RockPro64 as my (backbone) to everything I set up and run.

Hello,

Let's say I buy this list
ROCKPro64 4GB Single Board Computer
ROCKPro64 12V 5A EU POWER SUPPLY
ROCKPro64 PCI-e to Dual SATA-II Interface Card
ROCKPro64 Metal Desktop/NAS Casing
Fan for ROCKPro64 Metal Desktop/NAS casing

16GB CLASS10 MICROSD CARD

and two SSD drive

How can I install armbian on a RAID1 of these two drives?
I understood that these two drives can't boot. I need to flash the SDcard with armbian installer (https://www.armbian.com/rockpro64/) and I'll always have to boot from SDcard.

However, I think it's better to install and use the system from SSD because it's safer (Sdcard don't last long) and SSD have more capacity and they would be in RAID1 (so safer also)

So, how can I boot from SDcard but have armbian system installed on SATA and specifically on RAID1 (2 SSD)?

Do you know tutorials (text or video) explaining how to reach to this situation?
- How to create RAID1 for 2 SATA drive connected to ROCKPro64 through the ROCKPro64 PCI-e to Dual SATA-II Interface Card?
- How to install armbian system to this RAID1 from the micro SDcard plugged in the ROCKPro64?

Now a side question : as we are talking about SATA-II, I guess the speed of SSD doesn't really matter as it is SATA-II which will limit the speed?
